Q 11 :

The energy released if hydrogen atoms are combined to form He24 is ________.

(Take binding energies per nucleon of H12 and He24 as 1.1 MeV and 7.2 MeV, respectively.)                   [2026]

  • 6.1

     

  • 24.4

     

  • 26.6

H12+H12⇌H24e

Energy released Q=(BE)products-(BE)reactants

Q=4×7.2-4×1.1=24.4 MeV
